@viperzero8501 6 лет назад

So you really think the Japanese treated the POWs differently between the two wars? Have you done any study into how the Japanese treated POWs in Russo-Japanese War? Do you really think what you've been taught the truth? Do you think the Japanese were so different during the 4 years or so of WW2? It's a war propaganda put out by the winners. I don't know what your political stances are, but use your brains. The fact is, Japan has always been the same. It was never an "evil coldblooded Empire" like you've been taught in your Western (or Korean or Chinese) education system. And don't give me lectures based on the knowledge they teach you at school. If you want to reply, do your own research before you do so.

Viper Zero say that to the pictures of soldiers getting beheaded and malnourished soldiers... and not to forget my people who were put into camps in indonesia...

@viperzero8501 6 лет назад

@Whup TheeDoo Tell me, just why are the soldiers "beheading" the POWs wearing Kuomintang uniforms? Whup TheeDoo, may be you are young, but you have to learn to check again on the materials that are presented to you before you believe it to be what it is. Also, why do you point your hate at the Japanese in particular? The Westerners had been colonizing and basically enslaving and killing us Asians for centuries. Why don't you accuse and criticize them with the same passion?

@Jonnesdeknost 6 лет назад

Viper Zero commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Japanese_shooting_blindfolded_Sikh_prisoners.jpg this picture alone says enough. the japense didnt care at all for asian brother nations. in the end they wanted to expand as every nation had as interest and every nation commited crimes including mine but do you see me denying those?

@insertnamehere001 6 лет назад

WWII POW camps were staffed by Korean soldiers (Korea was annexed by Japan around 1910). 'Justice Bert Röling, who represented the Netherlands at the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, noted that "many of the commanders and guards in POW camps were Koreans - the Japanese apparently did not trust them as soldiers - and it is said that they were sometimes far more cruel than the Japanese."[58]''

@umjackd 6 лет назад

A Japanese POW camp was uncovered from the jungle in Penang, Malaysia sometime in the 1990s. It was originally a British military base, which the Japanese turned into a prison camp, and now it's the Penang War Museum. You can read a lot of sad stories there.

where i'm from in germany almost every village has at least some kind of stonepilar with the names of the soldiers who were killed in WW1 on it, often combined with the war of 1870/71

@FireAssayDevil 6 лет назад

Sad there aren't also pillars for the dead of WW2, it was all equally a sad waste of life.

@trytojustify 6 лет назад

there is a little chapel on the graveyard in our village with all the names of the dead in WW2, generally the lists of ww2 deaths are a little longer

@arnekrug939 6 лет назад

OldContemptible In my town there is a big stone pillar behind the church with the names of the dead soldiers from 1870/71 and 1914-1918 and very close to my home there is a memorial that looks like two big tombstones with an eagle at the top and the names of the fallen soldiers of 1939-1945. In the city where I go to school there is even a giant statue of a WW1 soldier with a Stahlhelm who is standing on a big grenade with one foot in rememberance of an artillery unit that came from this city.

@DepressivesBrot 6 лет назад

OldContemptible There absolutely are. Little villages sometimes have a combined stone listing the fallen of both world wars while town cemeteries are more likely to have separate fields for WW1 and WW2 with their own little memorial each. The only thing you won't find for WW2 are heroic statues, for obvious reasons.

@FireAssayDevil 6 лет назад

Glad to hear there is not so much shame that Germans can't remember the loss of their loved ones in WW2, even in such a dubious war. In my short time in Germany I only saw Franco-Prussian and WW1 memorials, those wars and WW2 are all a chain of sad misadventures.

A group of Croatian soldiers, serving in the AH Navy, who were captured by the Japanese during the war had a band that was quite popular in the country. In fact, the Croatian song U Boj U Boj is still so popular that Japanese State Choir (could be another group) usually ends its concerts with a performance of it. Croatian ethnic dance and tamburitzan music is very popular too

@kreol1q1q 6 лет назад

It's not the Japanese State Choir, but rather a choir from the Kwansei Gakuin University of Kobe. And yes, the rest of the story is true, the locals heard the song being performed by members of the A-H Navy imprisoned there (we don't really know the sailors' nationality, but it's probably safe to say that at least some were Croats), and were sufficiently impressed that they had the sailors teach them the song, and it eventually came to be in the university choir's permanent repertoir, as the most difficult song and the finishing piece, as they sung it in Croatian without actually understanding the language or what they were singing. They actually had no idea what they were singing about right up until the fifties or sixties I believe, when they finally managed to have the song translated, and found out that they were singing the most dramatic aria of a very important Croatian opera, "Nikola Šubić Zrinski", which is about the siege of Sziget. They still teach it and perform it to this day. Here's a link to a Croatian TV report on when the older members of the choir visited Croatia and sung the song in public; ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gJyxA9szd8E.html

Howdy, Indy and crew! Now that you've answered one of my questions, I have a next one. Many countries fielded units consisting of soldiers of different nations: the British had soldiers from dominions like ANZAC, Austro-Hungarians had Polish Legions, Russians had Latvian Rifles and so on. Did Germany deploy such units? I don't mean troops from colonies, but something like Escadrille Lafayette or General Haller's Third Polish Brigade, aka the Blue Army, serving with the French. And a little tip, my surname is pronounced like "Vatslavik".

+The Great War Its not the original grave in Berlin. Von Richthofen was originally buried in France and then moved to Berlin. Later he was moved again to his home town. Its also not his "original" grave in Berlin since his tombstone now stands in Wittmund where the squadron named after him is stationed.

BTW, Beethoven No.9 performed by the German POW at Naruto Camp was the very first performance of the magnificent symphony in Japan. "139 Days until the 100th anniversary of the first performance of the Ninth Symphony in Asia" www.city.naruto.tokushima.jp/contents/daiku/english/index.html

@n1k1george 6 лет назад

I have visited the Naruto camp: This is one of the least known aspects of the great war - even very few Japanese are aware of this episode of civility, chivalry and ultimately cultural exchange as it was eclipsed by Japan's shameful treatment of POWs in WW2. Even today, Japanese school children carry their books in "rucksacks" to school; love to eat Baumkuchen; and fill entire stadiums for Beethoven's 9th Symphony sing-along events.

@viperzero8501 6 лет назад

@Tom Burchill Well, thank you Tom! By the way, just for your information, the Japanese were basically quite consistent in their treatment of POWs from the Samurai days all the way through to WW2. Have you considered the possibility of a "systematic propaganda" put out by the "winners of war" demonizing the Japanese during WW2? Have you heard of the War Guilt Information Program (WGIP) that was put in place by the GHQ of the post-war occupation government? Towards the end of the war, one commander of a POW camp ordered his staff soldiers to give up their food in order to feed the prisoners, however, he was accused in the International Military Tribunal for the Far East for "discriminating the prisoners by not feeding them appropriately" and was executed. That's how "shameful" Japan's treatment of POWs in WW2 was basically. Do you honestly think that the ethnic properties of a nations people can just change so drastically over night? or in a course of few decades? from a proud Samuari nation in the pre-WW1 days to a lawless cold-blooded evil murderers in WW2? And once particular war is over, just go back to the nation that it was before the war? Including its military? Again, just over night? That's rubbish! Come on. It's a war propaganda. You've been conned. Japan hasn't changed. It was always the same. During the Samurai days, before WW2, during WW2, and after WW2. I can look straight in your eyes and say to you, that if you study the facts of what really did occur, you'll find out that the Japanese didn't treat the POWs in WW2 as you think. At least they didn't roundup the surrendering enemy soldiers in batches and mortar them down with machine guns like the Americans did in the Philippines. "Japanese Navy saved lives of British Navy in WW II" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wWYz_AQAzbQ.html I can in fact provide you with many facts to back it up, but I won't go into that now because this comment is already getting too long. There are many, many episodes (and facts!) to prove that, with records and testimonies from both sides of the war, as well as the local residents of the Asian countries. Some, I've heard myself with my own ears from the elderly people of the South East Asian countries. Anyway, thank you again, hope you had a great time here if you were here in Japan as a visitor, or if you are a resident, see you sometime.

@neildahlgaard-sigsworth3819 6 лет назад

Viper Zero having heard what the Japanese did to POWs in WW2 from the mouth of somebody who was captured by them and ended up in Changi then I have to say that the Japanese in WW2 are as black as the history books paint them. This man was my Vicar and yes as Christian he had forgiven them for what they had done to him and those he tried to protect.

@shaggybreeks 6 лет назад

Yes! I'm glad someone mentioned this. The Japanese loved it, and it's become a Christmas tradition in Japan. You can hear more performances of B-9 in Japan during the month of December, than all the rest of the year in all the countries of the world. They have filled stadiums with people singing Ode to Joy in German. There are videos of it on RU-vid.

Good Morning Indie, Flo and the rest of the crew, you're doing a great job. One subject it would be interesting for you to cover is the "Soldier Poets", this was a key topic in English at school, studying such poets as Seigfried Sassoon and Wilfrid Owen. There seemed to be quite a literary community among British Officers, were there any similar artistic movements in other nations' forces?

@andythem320guy9 6 лет назад

Hello from Puerto Rico again, Indy and crew. I have here a question for Out of The trenches. My great grandfather served in the Panama canal during the 1950s as many Puertorricans did since 1914 as a defence unit. My question is... Where there any German plans to attack the Panama Canal incase the U.S joined the war? It would have not seem imposible, well almost, since German ships where seen in areas of the Caribbean, like in the port of San Juan in 1917, or the Maldives as early as 1914. I doubt they would have done something like the Ottomans did in the Suez canal in 1915 because of the distance and lack of supplies. I hope to see a Puerto Rico special in the future and more amazing videos.

@ironvader502 6 лет назад

The remembrance is often decided by where you Live, and when it was built. Many memorials ment for WW1/Franco-Prussian War were modified to incorporate WW2 after 45. But you can clearly distinguish when they where built. For example, where I Live, it was built after WW2. The memorial is a simple slab of concrete with the names of everyone from the town who died in WW1/WW2. When I drive to my Grandmother, I have to pass through a village with a memorial built in 1921, later they just added more nameplates. The memorial itself is a pillar with a picture of archangel Micheal on it, with a big Iron Cross at the Top and the words "Gott mit Uns !" At the Bottom. And the One where my Grandmother lives was built in 1934 . That One is a 3m high statue of a german soldier, surrounded by archways with the names of the fallen on them. As for state-built memorials, the only One that includes ww1 I know about that was built after 45 is the "Ehrenmal des deutschen Heeres" in the Fortress Ehrenbreitstein in Koblenz, which is dedicated to the fallen of the German army in WW1 & WW2 and was built by the Bundeswehr in the 60s, I think. Its pretty simplistic, just a white niche in One of the outer walls, with a Iron Cross at the outside and a statue of a young dead soldier with a Stahlhelm lying on the ground, surrounded by Metal oakleafs and the years 1914-1918 and 1939-1945.

Hello TGW crew Its true that Manfred von Richthofen was (re)buried ad Invalidenfriedhof Cemetery in Berlin after WW1. Bud in 1975 his remains were relocated to the Richthofen's family grave at Südfriedhof in Wiesbaden.

@mjmoughtin 6 лет назад

Regarding what you said on the red Barron. I'm not sure that is correct, his original burial place was in the Somme at the Fricourt German cemetery. Berlin was his second burial place, not original.

@thomaswolf2896 6 лет назад

It's even more complicated: the "original" grave was, off course, located in France. His remains were then transferred to Berlin's Invaliden cemetery, which was levelled to the ground as part of the Berlin wall's death strip in the 1970s. His family managed to exhume the grave and the "real" grave of Richthofen is now located in Wiesbaden. Only in 2009 a memorial plate was placed at his former grave in Berlin.

@pleasant_asymmetry 6 лет назад

It's interesting how WW1 memorials in GGermany set up some time after WW1 are treated in a similar fashion to Confederate memorials that were set up, in many cases, in the 1960's as a response to the Civil Rights Movement.

@karlkarlos3545 6 лет назад

Minor correction (and I apology if someone had said that already.) Not the "Remembrance" of the Nazi era is prohibited in Germany but it's celebration such as making the Nazi salut or waving Nazi flags. Indy's explanation was a bit misleading.

The war in Africa was very fascinating, including combat in German Togoland, Kamerun, and Southwest and East Africa. There were even naval battles there. Why don't you guys cover these German African colonies? German Togoland was immediately invaded when World War I started, followed by Kamerun and Southwest Africa in 1915-1916. There was also German Samoa and Guam and German naval raids in India and the East Indies. Love the show!

We cover them when we find good sources. Case and point our specials about WW1 in the pacific, German East Africa.

Hey Indy we often hear about the big three and their goals at Versailles, however what where the goals of the Germans, Austrians, and Ottomans. I understand why they joined the war but as a nation what where their goals of a peace if a peace where to come. Thank you and this may stray in the way of alternate history. Although, I am sure their are documents outlining what each nation wanted for example the ottomans may want the British out of Arabia etc.. Keep up the great work

Hello Indy and crew! Question for OOTT. What happened to conscripted soldiers after the war? Did they just simply retire from the military or did they allowed to continue their military career? If they retired what privileges did they get? Great show BTW.

@CyberVirus549 6 лет назад

I hear conflicting accounts of what nation suffered the most proportional casualties of soldiers that left to fight. I'm Scottish, and our education system tells us that Scotland suffered the most proportional casualties. 26/27% KIA, not including wounded. I hear that the Serbians, Canadians or ANZACs suffered heavy casualties, too, but I still can't find anything that blankly states which nation had higher casualties. Can anyone else weigh in?

You know, I think of good OOTT questions when I'm not watching and think, "I shall finally ask a question for OOTT." Then, I forget the darn thing until the next episode of OOTT. I might want to use modern technology (e.g., pen and paper) to write the darn thing down. Just think, there could be a whole new segment called Greatest Questions of OOTT Never Asked...

Hello Indy and crew! I have a question for out of the trenches; not sure if you've covered this before, but, being a Latino, I've always been curious what role, if any, did Latino and Hispanic-Americans play in the First World War? Were white and black Latinos broken up into segregated units as the rest of the American Army was? Were there any notable figures with Latin ancestry? Thanks for the great work, and here's to 1918!

@hansschonig2472 6 лет назад

How about doing a series of videos called "battles" - one battle per episode or so featuring tactics, outcome, casualty number, etc?

@hansschonig2472 6 лет назад

Indiana Neidell ... You guys must really be working 24x7. My idea was rather for something "after the armistice" next year. Some sort of "best of battles" after the regular episodes are over in case you guys want to keep working on the project. May the day this channel stops never come :(

@TheGreatWar 6 лет назад

Well, that would also counteract the idea behind the channel which, among other things, is not to reduce the war into these individual battles.

You've done a special on Shell Shock (now known as PTSD) during the war. However, what about the similar but medical distinct "conversion disorder" (which is often called "Hysterical blindness/paralysis/etc") during the war. Was conversion disorder treated any differently PTSD/"shell shock"? Did anyone understand it was a distinct disorder?

@williamcarey8529 6 лет назад

Greetings Indy and team!! I have enjoyed all of your videos and I have a question that maybe you all could answer or even do another video on!! I lived in Europe for 21 years and I have seen a great majority of western and some of eastern Europe. I have traveled alot in the Alsace/Lorraine regions of France and it is common to see cemeteries in France with the dates and years 1914-1918 and 1939-1945 on many of them. I know that the Alsace Lorraine regions belonged to Germany during World War 1 but still many French people still have left the cemeteries as is to remember those who died (which I feel is a noble thing to do)!! But my question is this; what happened to the German cemeteries in places like Silesia and Pomerania? I have been to those regions as well and I found none!! Could you perhaps cover this subject in a future video please?

Dear Indy, I know you're going through a lot of comments asking questions, but I would be grateful if you answered mine. I know that overall The Red Barren was the highest scoring ace of WW1 but he did in April of 1918. Can you tell us who was the highest scoring ace of WW1 to survive? and also their story? Thanks.

Hello Indy and Great War crew, I have a question. What was the role of the Philippines during the war?

@jien1988 6 лет назад

Justin Tiamson I remembered it was answered already on OOTT. When US joined the war, they sent some Filipino soldiers (PH was a US colony that time) in Europe to fight with them.

@ignatiusTH2 6 лет назад

I have a question for OOTT. I live in ireland and I went into the local Protestant Church to have a look around. I noticed a war memorial dedicated to the congregation of that church that died in WW1. it numbered around 30 men. The population of Protestants in that part of the west of Ireland at the time was about 2-3% of the population of the county so this amounted to most of the male population of the church. I was wondering was there many towns and villages in the waring nations that had nearly all its male population killed in the war. I do know that it was an issue in pals betallions in the UK.
